Lightrail Cov for E-Circular
LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT AND TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Third Street Light Rail Project Southern Terminal JOHN P. BEATTY Korve Engineering, Inc. uch of San Francisco’s recent growth has been south of its traditional center, and public M transportation has been following this growth with new service. The existing southern leg of the Route N Judah line service runs south from the foot of Market Street along the Embarcadero to its terminus at Fourth and King Streets near Pacific Bell Baseball Park and the Caltrain Terminal. The recent extension is proving successful in attracting riders. San Francisco is building the dual track Third Street Light Rail Project from the end of the current line near Pacific Bell Park to the city and county southern boundary. A public transportation terminal is needed at the southern end to complete the transportation infrastructure for the future urban corridor. The Southern Terminal at San Francisco’s southern boundary would be the southern gateway to the San Francisco Municipal Railway system. It would be the public transportation center for the southern end of the Third Street corridor. The proposed Southern Terminal location actually lies in the neighboring city of Brisbane, which increases the complexity of its development, but also increases it potential. THIRD STREET LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM Third Street will be a major north–south transportation corridor in San Francisco between the city’s downtown Market Street area and its southern boundary. The corridor begins at Market and Third in San Francisco’s downtown and continues south through the south of Market area, Mission Bay, Central Waterfront, and the communities of Baypoint and Visitation Valley.

Major Muni Service Expansion During the COVID-19 Shelter-In-Place Order Saturday, Aug. 22: Extend and improve frequencies on several targeted bus routes to continue to support essential trips and physical distancing and restart modified Muni Metro service. These service changes will support the city’s economic recovery by providing more connections to neighborhood commercial districts as businesses reopen. With the restart of Muni Metro, we can repurpose Muni buses that had been operating in place of rail lines to add service on other routes. Putting Muni Metro back in service will free up buses currently in use for the L Taraval, M Ocean View, N Judah and T Third to serve additional routes and improve service frequency systemwide. Given the distancing restraints and to increase capacity in the subway, the SFMTA will adjust Metro lines entering the tunnels.
